What reading level is The Lady of the Lake book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"Some of these pibrochs," says Dr. Beattie, "being intended to represent a battle, begin with a grave motion resembling a march; then gradually quicken into the onset; run off with noisy confusion and turbulent rapidity to imitate the conflict and pursuit ; then swell into a few flourishes of triumphant joy ; and perhaps close with the wild and slow wailings of a funeral CANTO SECOND 99 At first the sounds, by distance tame, Mellowed along the waters came.
And, lingering Jong by cape and bay.
W...ailed every harsher note away, 360 Then bursting bolder on the ear.
The clan's shrill Gathering they could hear, Those thrilling sounds that call the might Of old Clan- Alpine to the fight.
Thick beat the rapid notes, as when 365 The mustering hundreds shake the glen, And hurrying at the signal dread.
The battered earth returns their tread.
Then prelude light, of livelier tone.
Expressed their merry marching on, 370 Ere peal of closing battle rose.
With mingled outcry, shrieks, and blows ; And mimic din of stroke and ward, As broadsword upon target jarred ; And groaning pause, ere yet again, 376 procession.'' The transitions of feeling are vividly described in the succeeding verses.
